RE: Acreage Release Request
DRMS Permit: Firestone Gravel Resource, M-1996-052
Dear Mr. Scott:
L.G. Everist, Incorporated (L.G. Everist or LGE), as Permittee/Operator respectfully submits this Acreage Release
Request for release of 27.98 acres of Firestone Gravel Resource, DRMS Permit# M-1996-052. Please see the
attached Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety's (DRMS) form, Request for Full or Partial Release of Permit
Area/Surety Reduction. Please see the attached Exhibit F: Reclamation Plan Map (2013) for reference of the
entire Firestone Gravel Resource, and Exhibit A-3 for a map of the area to be released.
Last week, L.G. Everist sent an acreage release request to the DRMS for reclaimed areas in the "Carbon Valley
Parcel" of the Carbon Valley Resource (DRMS Permit M-2001-017). We explained that L.G. Everist has a
Purchase, Sale and Exchange Agreement (PSE Agreement) with the Town of Firestone (Firestone) for the Town
to purchase the "Carbon Valley Parcel". The Town will be developing their own water storage reservoir in the
reclaimed and released area. However, there is more to the PSE Agreement which concerns the Firestone
Gravel Resource and which will be addressed with this acreage release request.
In the PSE Agreement, L.G. Everist and the Town of Firestone also agreed that two "exchange parcels" would be
swapped after the "Carbon Valley Parcel" was released and the the Town of Firestone took over ownership of it.
Both "exchange parcels" are connected to the Firestone Gravel Resource.
Exhibit A-3 - "L.G. Everist Exchange Parcel" (about 27.98 acres) - This "parcel" is a surveyed area that is on
land owned by LGE and being exchanged to Town of Firestone. As you'll see on the Exhibit A-3 map, it is located
along the south and east sides of the Firestone Gravel Resource mine site - and takes small portions out of the
three (3) legal parcels that make up the mine site. The area is generally all the undisturbed acres south of and
including the Side Hill Ditch and 20-50 feet along the eastern boundary of the permitted area, along County Road
17. The Town of Firestone is planning to use this land in the future as part of their interconnected system of
public trails. The area is undisturbed, and is located on the outskirts of the properties and not land that we were
planning to mine anyway, so there is no reclamation needed.
The other"exchange parcel" is illustrated on Exhibit A-1- "Town of Firestone Exchange Parcel" (about 12.05
acres) -This land is currently owned by the Town of Firestone and being exchanged to LGE. This piece of
property is not part of this Acreage Release Request. However, when ownership transfers to L.G. Everist, we will
revise the Firestone Gravel Resource DRMS permit (through a TR or amendment) to include the part of this
property (approximately 2.1 acres) that is located south of County Road 26 3/ and is surrounded by permitted
areas in the north-central section of the Firestone Gravel Resource.
